Using the Microscope to View & Sketch a Specimen Using the Microscope to View & Sketch a Specimen Students practice applying their understanding of the compound light microscope to draw a prepared specimen. Students are then asked to assess the functions of a compound light microscope to create a simulation of a specimen, students are asked to draw the specimen to scale and determine the total magnification. Rubric Code: KX774B3 By HSIDIBE Ready to use Public Rubric Subject: Science Type: Project Grade Levels: 9-12
